I hate to do something like this, but I will bet twenty bucks in front of God and everyone, that Jordin, and not Blake will win. I took someone up on a bet like the one I just proposed, years ago, over the Gary Condit affair, and I won, and he never paid up. But it’s up to you-—Blake just doesn’t have the widespread appeal to pull in tens of millions of votes, over Jordin. I have said Jordin will win for almost three months.
Hmmmmm.....I thinking of taking that bet. Okay?
Who wins will be determined by several things: How each performs next week, obviously by the number votes each gets, how the judges, (particularily Simon) try to set up each contestant, and wether or not Jordin's voters, which I suspect, are the other than Ashley Ferls of the world, get out and vote. I believe that Blake has the Ashley vote, and apparently from what we have been seeing, (ala Suckjaya), that group votes often and in large numbers. Thus my sense, that Blake will win this competition.
That being said, I still believe that not only Jordin, but Melinda and probably Gina in the long run will have better cd sales than Blake. Blake does not have a strong voice, what he has now is a gimmick going, a gimmick that will wear out with time.
I do not understand why Simon has taken it on as a mission to trash Jordin, unless in some sort of reverse psychology way he is trying to get a sympathy vote for her. And that trick may work and help Jordin win. You and God keep your money, I do not take the bet.
